NYCHA representative Gillian Connell outlines the agency's oversight mechanisms for RAD/PACT developments in response to Council Member Chris Banks' persistent questioning about NYCHA's role post-conversion.
- NYCHA monitors work orders received from PACT partners on a regular basis
- A team of construction monitors visits each site regularly during the construction progress
- The Section 8 leased housing team remains involved in the administration of vouchers
- Residents can still call the CCC (NYCHA's Customer Contact Center) for repair-related complaints and request special inspections
- Information about these resources is explained to residents around the time of closing when projects convert to RAD/PACT
Gillian Connell
